The Joystiq Free Game Club: Sonny


As much hubbub as there is surrounding new games for sale, there's one class of game that often gets the cold shoulder: Free games. It's sad, not only because there's a lot of really clever, well-crafted stuff in the shareware/Flash/freeware world, but also because they're all so very, very free. We at Joystiq decided they should huddle in the shadows no longer as we present our new weekly feature, The Joystiq Free Game Club.

What do you have to do to be a member? Well, the idea is this: We'll pick out a game that meets two important criteria: 1. It's free. 2. It's interesting. We won't be picking solely the newest stuff, just things that we think merit your attention. Then, we ask that you give it a whirl and share your thoughts with the rest of the Joystiq biomass in the comments section. It's like Oprah's Book Club, but with more zombies.

Proving that point, we're kicking off with Sonny, a deep, Flash-based RPG with an incredible soundtrack by Armor Games that we think everyone should play. Let us know what you think.
